BBM: We'll do the same Saturday and see if we're good enough

Tue Oct 13, 2026 10:00 pm

BBM:


"We were very keen to focus on our home form, how good we had been here.

"The pitch was perfect for us tonight. The stadium felt as if it had great energy in it from the start, and we wanted to give the supporters something to really get behind.

"Nathan made a good save early on, which was important for us. But from that moment onwards, we played with great style, were very aggressive and took the chances that we created tonight, which hasn't always been the case this season.

"We had really good intentions on Saturday of doing the exact same thing, and it wasn't to be. We weren't at our best, and we were very intent on going for the win tonight.

"We'll do the exact same on Saturday and see if we're good enough.

"I spoke to the players after the game and said they should be very proud of themselves, because it takes a lot of courage.

"Coming off a performance like we had on Saturday, you have to show that you have the courage to bounce back, and we did."

The problem is we won't be able to play like that Vs Boro with the same system because they will play differently at home and we are weak in the middle on the break so far away playing the same thing we do at home although Boro won't look like div 2 team like Watford did tonight that's for sure so we shall see :bluescarf:

Now this is my only issue with BBM I think we can out play a big chunk of the teams in this division but probably not the top 5 or 6 away from home especially

Agree, away from home he has to start being a little bit more mindful of the opposition, we certainly can't go 'gung ho" against the likes of Boro. I'd like to see Bielik playing as the holding midfielder protecting/helping our back four.

Spot on.

Even Watford who were shockingly poor caused us a few problems last night and.Boro will punish us if we leave ourselves open to it.

Tighten things up just a little please and try not to commit quite so many charging forward when we attack.

Has he not learnt yet that we cannot play like that away from home, especially against the top teams.

I really like BBM and think he has a very promising future ahead if he learns to be more tactically astute and improves his game management
